New reports show an increase in Arizona election worker turnover

More from this show

Midterm elections may be nine months away, but a new report finds Arizona counties have had more turnover among election workers than in any other Western state.

In the study, a nonpartisan group, Issue One, found that all 15 Arizona counties have experienced turnover, including in at least one chief election position.

Since 2020, allegations of fraud have led to an increase in political violence, which resulted in the attack on the Capitol and threats against election officials and workers.

The report shines a light on the fight between the Arizona County Recorder and the Board of Supervisors.

Jerod MacDonald-Evoy of Arizona Mirror joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the new report.
